Greetings to family and friends!

I arrived safely but tired on Saturday. Since then we have started the physical exams on the orphanage children. Today Austin and I are traveling to a remote village for an all day clinic with the PA Sal. I am getting a new perspective on healthcare. Can't wait to share with you. Mom/Dorothy Zimmerman

To Erickson friends and relatives - It's wonderful to see the people and the Sons of Thunder Farm that Chuck has talked so much about. Their gardens are looking good from the water from the wells from Rotary. Love to all , Marianne Erickson

Though the walls are bare and the desks are meager at the Sons of Thunder School, headmaster Owen assures us that the school ranks highest in their Standardized Tests. I am looking at the possibility of purchasing desks for the school. Nicki Klein

Bob Perrin is drawing up designs for a new church. The foundation was laid the SOT didn't have an idea of what should come next.

Bob and Dan Wherry walked to the dam that has gone out and they are looking at repair possibilities. Dan's been the dish washer par excellance!

Amanda Perrin is drawing up the Nutritional Guidelines and doing the finger sticks today at the clinic.

Sharon enjoyed the Lunar Rainbow at Victoria Falls. Since there is a full moon, we went to the park at 6:30pm and as the moon rose, it created a fantastic rainbow in front of the falls. Sharon will be creating fun ways to introduce the Child Development and Infection Control info that the doctor and nurse have been developing for the orphanage workers seminar next week.

More later. Love to all!
